Making Every Second Count

Never wish your time away,
You’ll never get it back, okay.
Time is extremely valuable,
And certainly unaffordable,
You want as much time as you can get,
So spend your time wisely and you won’t regret,
So through time we travel today,
No one knows what will come your way,
I can see your past, though not your future
But where is your present, so super-duper?
You’re going through it like flour in a sift,
For everyone knows your present is a gift,
And there’s the clock just ticking away,
That’s how much time you have left today,
So don’t dream of time that hasn’t begun,
Tomorrow’s adventure has yet to come!
